Hot Dog!

One place I will truly miss in Florence is Chicago Cafe. Hot dogs are basically my favorite food and Chicago Cafe has some awesome hot dogs. They have The Pizza Dog, a hot dog with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperonis. Then there is Da' Dirty Dog, with BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and grilled onions. Those two are my favorites but they have many options. They also offer sandwiches and pizza which are delicious too.

On weekends they are open until 2 or 3 in the morning when Flobama, OTR, and Wildwood are closing. Whether you are leaving the bar or decide you need a midnight snack break during your binge watching on Netflix, Chicago Cafe is where you need to go. (This is probably where the freshman fifteen comes from.)

This January, a suspicious bag left on the steps of the post office was reported to the police department. After using X-ray equipment the street was shut down and the bomb squad removed the bag with a robot. When they drove off and opened said bags, they found hot dogs...not bombs. This reached headlines and was even mentioned by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. So these dogs are pretty much famous.

They have a loyalty dog card, after your fifth hot dog you get one free! I actually am currently at my fourth dog so I need to make a couple more trips myself. Go start your loyalty card!
